Scope and content
Florence. - Asks if he can borrow about £250 to buy two pictures he has found in Venice and believes to be two of Jacopo Bellini's lost pieces for the Scuola [Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista], which he wants to secure for the National Gallery. Cannot expect Poynter to buy them. Horne has seen photographs and agrees they are worth the money; if Fry cannot sell them at cost price to the National Gallery Trevelyan will share in any profit. Postscript notes that he has found two more Jacopos in a gallery.
